Can hyperlipidemia be treated with bloodletting

Bloodletting

therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that releases a certain amount of blood by acupuncture at certain acupoints or specific parts to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. However, hyperlipidemia is a metabolic disease, mainly due to lipid metabolism disorders in the body resulting in elevated blood lipid levels. Bloodletting therapy does not directly reduce blood lipid levels, nor can it fundamentally solve the problem of hyperlipidemia. In the treatment of hyperlipidemia, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and adopt a comprehensive treatment method. If there is any doubt about the treatment of hyperlipidemia, consult your doctor promptly for an individualized treatment plan.
